And just because I'm new it doesn't mean I'm a troll. I've just been getting into baseball cards again because I have a 7 year old son. I pulled out my old cards and he loved them. I started buying again on ebay. Boy has the hobby changed since the 80's. So, I searched online for a forum and this one seemed pretty active. I joined. Saw the contest and posted.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Hey, as long as you stick around and contribute - I did say that they'd never be heard from again. You're only a troll if you, you know, troll.

And to piggy back off of Johnny E, I'm a lurker by design. I've been here just a little while and I'm nowhere near the level of most "regulars" collections, so I just sit back and learn from you guys. This whole "I deserve to win because I'm a regular" attitude just keeps people from getting more involved as well.

You guys have guilty consciences.

Everyone please re-read what I wrote. I guess I didn't word it properly to include every facet of membership. I was talking about the person who found out about the contest, created an account, entered, wins, and then disappears into oblivion.

Oh boy, believe me, if I win you're gonna wish you never heard from me again.

Whoa, guys REALLY your trash talking over THIS think about what a nice thing Blowout has done for the collecting community. They didn't have to be nice and run promos every few weeks, in fact every week in the NFL regular season they gave out 54 FREE BOXES a week, but they didn't have to. And in my mind they are the #1 card dealer out there and I will be a BO customer for years to come. BTW, congrats on the store, wish my LCS was like that.

It's all in good fun.
I second your tip-o-the-hat to Blowout! I'm new, but in reviewing the site and the history, I'd say these guys a awesome. I'll definitely be making some purchases. Good luck everyone!

Congrats to the member with 2 posts who will inevitably win this, post a "thank you" with a million !!!!!!!'s, and never be heard from again.

I read it to say you're implying that post count matters with regards to who should win. Regardless if I win or not, nothing will change. I'll still visit nearly every day drooling at the breaks and just generally being invisible.

Since learning photoshop in high school I have had a blast finding new ways to put it to use. I'm obviously not a professional by any means, but I've been working on this since the contest started and I think it turned out pretty well! There's a couple little things in the pictures that don't show up well, so click the link below to see the full resolution version!

I'm a relatively new member to BO, but I've been bouncing around different card forums for years. I think I've finally found the one that I like the most! I love 2012 Topps so far and I'm pumped about Blowout's new store! I'm graduating next summer and have a job offer in Springfield, VA, so this will be my new LCS! Hopefully I will win the gold bar and will be able to cash it in on some hobby boxes at the Fantastic Store!
